But by breaking responsibilities into manageable steps, you can avoid unnecessary stress.Focus on what’s right in front of you: a call, an email, a presentation.Like Jim Halpert from The Office, simplify what others complicate. Avoid the drama, keep things straightforward, and stay calm.One step at a time leads to progress and success.Actionable tips:Break large goals into smaller tasks.
